Partial tally in Amazon union drive favors ‘No’ votes

We really don't need a new post every few hours about whatever the current in-progress state is...

EDIT: after looking at it more closely, its not even an update, its a straight-up duplicate from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26745214

It sounds like a halfway there update, and the 2-to-1 seems notable.

"With about half the ballots counted late Thursday, votes against unionization had a more than 2-to-1 advantage over those in favor"

Note that "several hundred ballots had been contested, largely by Amazon, and those ballots were set aside to be adjudicated and counted only if they were vital to determining an outcome". So several hundred ballots contested by Amazon, and the cynic in my assume that those were therefore probably all in favor of unionizing. This can change the 1100-to-463 balance significantly.
